Police Detective

There are usually dedicated elevator operators in hospital elevators.

When elevators first appeared, many buildings had elevators. Nowadays, only hospitals have them. They are mainly used by people who come to the hospital. Many people are no longer convenient to press the elevator.

But this hospital only has so many people, and does it even have elevator attendants? There are four elevators here. If each elevator has an elevator operator, at least eight people will be hired, right?

This luxurious configuration is not in harmony with the low-profile male guides outside.

Maybe the second scenario Liu Shuyuan mentioned is true? It seems that there is only one reason that can be explained - the hospital does not expect medical treatment to make money at all. It just tries to secretly publicize it and bring in as many people as possible, so as not to be too deserted.

Liu Shuyuan didn't know that Bai Song was so worried, so he entered the stairs and pressed the button on the top 13th floor.

"Eh?" The female elevator attendant took Liu Shuyuan's hand away angrily, "Tell me which floor you want to go to and I'll press the button."

"The top floor." Liu Shuyuan said.

"Okay." The female elevator attendant was a little impatient and pressed 13. Then she blocked the elevator door with her hand, as if she had to wait for another wave of passengers before setting off.

Is there such an operation? Bai Song couldn't say anything, but soon, two old men walked in.

"Floor 13." The two old men saw that this was not their first time here, so they reported the floor directly to the elevator attendant.

The elevator runs very stably, and it can be seen that the hospital's infrastructure is good. While in the elevator, Bai Song observed carefully. Among the elevator buttons, floors 1-6 were mostly used, and the rest were on the top 13 floors. The 6th to 12th floors are the places where patients are hospitalized, but it is estimated that one floor on the 6th floor is enough to accommodate all patients.

Soon, the 13th floor arrived, and the two old men took out the table tennis rackets from their bags.

Gym? Bai Song and Liu Shuyuan didn't understand and followed the footsteps of the two grandfathers.

The 13th floor is the high-care ward, which is also the configuration of the inpatient building in many hospitals. The top floor has the best facilities, and this hospital is no exception. Bai Song was a little confused. With the number of people in this hospital, is it possible that there are still people willing to spend a lot of money to stay in high-care facilities?

Following the footsteps of the two grandfathers, Bai Song discovered the clues.

There are two large rooms here, which have been transformed into activity centers for the elderly, and they appear to be free and open.

In the activity center here, one has two table tennis tables, some chess and other simple sports facilities, and the other is a library where six or seven elderly people are reading.

Perhaps these rooms were indeed intended to be high-care wards when they were first built, so the interior decoration is very detailed, and the sofas and chairs inside are also exquisitely made. Even the two table tennis tables look very professional.

When the two grandpas came, people were playing on both table tennis tables, and there were seven or eight people watching. However, the two grandpas must be regular customers, and they also had some friends who greeted everyone one after another. After a while, I started to do it myself.

The nearest residential area here is three kilometers away. Logically speaking, it would not attract people to come here at all. But with a place like this, especially for free, it is natural that it can attract people to come here.

After watching table tennis for a while, the two of them reached the corridor and continued to play.

Each floor is very large, with a total area of ​​2,000 square meters. Except for these two activity rooms, most of the other rooms are closed, and the ones that are open are basically filled with some hospital debris, mainly tables, chairs, and benches.

After walking around for a while, there was nothing special, and the two of them went to the library.

This is a very user-friendly micro library, probably because there are many elderly people. Public AEDs, sphygmomanometers, nitroglycerin, reading glasses, etc. are prepared here, and no one is here as an administrator. (Note 1)

Is this really a welfare hospital? The two entered the library, which was quite large with tables and chairs. Bai Song found a familiar book from the bookshelf and started reading.

Unknowingly, ten minutes passed.

"Hey, Captain Bai, how long do you plan to stay here?" Liu Shuyuan turned around a few times and found that Bai Song was getting more and more fascinated, so he whispered in Bai Song's ear.

"Read this book." Bai Song handed the book to Liu Shuyuan and also lowered his voice.

Liu Shuyuan took the book and found that it was a novel. After looking at it carefully, there was nothing special about it. He handed it back to Bai Song with a puzzled look on his face: "I didn't find anything wrong with it."

"Look at the last page of the book." Bai Song handed it to Liu Shuyuan again.

"Xufang. Bai. Baisong?" Liu Shuyuan saw the author's name and was stunned for a moment: "The same name as yours?"

Bai Song shook his head gently.

Liu Shuyuan was stunned. He read the introduction of the book, flipped through the book, and returned the book to Bai Song again: "After talking about your feelings for a long time, are you trying to show me that you wrote a book?"

Publishing a book is not difficult, especially now that it is getting easier and easier to get started with publishing. You can publish what you have written with just a few thousand yuan. Bai Song participated in writing this book. Liu Shuyuan thought it was quite impressive, but he didn’t It’s necessary to pretend like this.

"I didn't let you see the author. The publication date was three months ago." Bai Song said in a voice that only Liu Shuyuan could hear: "The library here does not buy used books, but purchases new books regularly."

Only then did Liu Shuyuan realize what Bai Song wanted to say.

When Professor Tang sold those used books before, although the books were old, they were basically new books that no one had touched. They just had been there for a long time. Such books are very, very cheap. Basically, some public welfare libraries have such books, and the price is very low, weighed by the pound.

But buying new books will cost more than ten times?

Isn't this place too willing to spend money?

"I guess the hospital bought these books for tax deduction." Liu Shuyuan explained again.

Bai Song thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed with Liu Shuyuan's statement. In terms of these professional business practices, Bai Song is a blank slate.

The place where he sat was a blind spot for all surveillance.

There are four surveillance cameras in this room, mainly concentrated near the door. Bai Song noticed them as soon as he came in. After sitting here for a while, he also studied the nearby structure.

Putting the book back, Bai Song didn't make any sound, and then walked out the door, followed closely by Liu Shuyuan.

"Did you find any problems?" Liu Shuyuan looked around in confusion: "Why didn't I find any problems? It looks normal."

"It looks like there's nothing wrong with it." Bai Song thought for a while and asked, "But do you feel that this place looks a bit like an office building?"
